Road Kill Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

What's the matter with it? Why's it look that way? 

What's the matter with it? What's it trying to say? 

What's that on its back? Where's it trying to go? 

A mystical vision got dressed up one night 

Locked the door 

Walked through the misty porch light 

Headed over to somebody's house 

For an occasion long awaited 

As it crossed the road, Vista Del Mar 

A big red car, big black tires, nice Corvette 

And the future has not arrived yet 

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill 

Moonlight on the hill and the future is a road kill 

What's the matter with it? What's it trying to say? 

What's the matter with it? I just saw it yesterday 

The police came, the neighbors too 

They tried to pick it up, what else can you do? 

Meanwhile, somebody's waiting back at the house 

For the future to dawn bright across the sky 

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill 

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the future 

What's the matter with it? What's it trying to say? 

What's the matter with it? Why won't it go away? 

What's the matter with it? Why won't it close its eyes? 

What's the matter with it? Who are those guys? 

What's the matter with it?
